Main points from Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s interview for Kyodo News
Key statements by Volodymyr Zelenskyy from an interview with the Japanese news agency Kyodo News:
▫️ We have good coordination with the Japanese government in the energy and humanitarian sectors, as well as at the embassy level here in Ukraine.
▫️ We are ready to open up our technologies to Japan — for example, marine drones for coastal defense. We can share what we have learned in this war.
▫️ We would be very happy to see Prime Minister Takaichi in Ukraine — it would be very important for both countries.
▫️ There are currently 10,000 North Korean soldiers on russian territory.
▫️ We are ready for real compromises. But not compromises at the cost of our independence and sovereignty.
▫️ “We stand where we stand” is already a big compromise. russians have seized almost 20% of our territory. And we are ready to talk about peace now on the basis of the principle “we stand where we stand.”
▫️ Many countries that tried to mediate at the beginning of this war recognize that russia is the aggressor.
